Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Adie feels so comfortable being with Marco and she can't understand why, but she was enjoying it very much.

"Checkmate" she smiles proudly at him, napakamot naman ng ulo si Marco.

"I didn't expect you to be an expert in chess"kita niya ang disappointment sa mukha nito.

Well she's really a genius when it comes to chess kahit ang daddy niya ay hindi siya kayang matalo.

She smirked.

" Well, even my dad couldn't win against me"

Tinitigan siya ni Marco ng matiim at napailing and he smiles.

" Ok, enough with this, we need to leave now"and Marco stands at katatapos lang kasi nila mag almusal at nag papalipas oras lang sila hanggang ayain niya ito maglaro ng chess but she won three consecutive times.

Sumunod naman siya dito paakyat sa control room.

And he starts to operate the yacht Marco looks so hot while controlling it at hindi niya maiwasang napatitig dito.

Pumwesto siya sa tabi nito habang minamaniobra ang yacht.

"How long have you been sailing this yacht?" Hindi niya maiwasang ma curious kasi kabisadong kabisado na nito ang paggamit niyon.

"Well my family owns a Cruise ship that's why sailing is really my passion"

Sure he really is a billionaire hindi lang halata sa porma nito because he looks so simple, na nagustuhan niya dito she hates a man na pinapa ngalandakan sa lahat ang kayamanan pero mahahalata mo sa pananalita at sa kilos ni Marco that he's no ordinary man.

Napalingon siya sa malawak na karagatan ngunit hindi siya nakapagsalita.

At tila napansin ni Marco.

"How about you Adie., What's your passion?"

Napalingon siya kay Marco she was asking the same thing ano nga ba ang gusto niya?

"Gusto ko?" Napalingon siya kay Marco and he nodded.

"I.. I didn't experience anything without my parents'knowledge, I'm an achiever and I always make them proud but.. that's all they want pero.. hindi ko alam kung ano ang gusto ko because I never experienced to leave in my comfort zone sa edad ko, the truth is, this is my first time to do things on my own and.. I'm very thankful you're willing to help me experience those first things"and she smiles sweetly at him.

Marco stared at her intently.

" Don't give me that face Marco"nagbabanta niyang pigil dito

" What face? "Nangunot ang noo nito ngunit bumalik din ang tingin sa pagmamabiobra.

" Saying I do look pathetic"

Marco glanced at her.

"No of course not, I know for sure you've done your very best to make your parents proud, and maybe we are destined to meet dahil ako ang makakasama mo to experience life's first so please stay with me"

Hindi siya nakakibo sa huling sinabi ni Marco.

.. stay with him?

It's not a big favor for the meantime she will be staying with him maybe she can extend her condition in one and a half months? Or two hanggang sa sumapit ang araw ng kasal niya maybe she needs to enjoy her life to the fullest because she can't do anything after she gets married at walang kasiguraduhan na magki-click sila ni Lucas Raccini because she never met him before kaya hindi niya alam ang ugali nito but when she's with Marco.

Napatitig siya dito at nakatitig din pala sakanya.

Yes.. she will stay.

"Ok" matipid niyang sagot.

"Ok?" Nangunot ang noo nito.

"Yeah, ok I will stay until my marriage if you're willing to make me happy before going back"

Biglang naging blanko ang ekspresion ni Marco habang nakatitig sakanya ngunit binaling nalang niya ang tingin sa malawak na karagatan at napansin ang isang isla.

"Look!" Tinuro niya dito ang isang Isla.

"Diyan tayo titigil at mamimili"

"Really?" Nakaramdam siya ng excitement.

"Yeah, so take a bath and change your clothes it's just a 30 minute ride before we reach the shore"

And Marco grind.

" Yes, "at nagmamadaling bumaba siya.

She has never been this excited, lalo na si Marco ang kasama niya but she suddenly stops nang marealize ang nasa isip.

"Marco...We are still strangers at wala kaming alam sa isat isa.." naisatinig niya.

Kumuha siya ng damit sa damitan niya at inayos sa ibabaw ng kama at pumasok sa banyo.

But why does Marco keep on lingering in her thoughts?

.. maybe because he was so kind and gentleman, and he listened without any judgement and.. he looked handsome, his face his body the way he smiles and he laughed the way her heart beat whenever he was near.

At doon siya napangiti in short.

"I like him already" and she continue to takes a bath.

Paglabas niya the yacht is still moving ngunit napaka lapit na nila sa pantalan she was changing when she feels the tumigil na ito.

And after a minute she heard Marco footsteps na pababa na ng hagdan.

Ngunit hindi ito tumigil sa paglalakad patungo sa isang hagdan.

"I just need to talk to someone I will be back"

Paalam pa nito nang hindi man lang siya tinitingnan at nagtataka siya.

She was wearing a robe and she starts to blow dry her hair habang hinihintay itong bumalik.

She wears, sleeveless spaghetti top, wala kasi siyang ibang damit na dala.

And a ripped maong shorts at isang puting rubber shoes.

"Adie, are you done?"tanong ni Marco habang paakyat ng hagdan.

But he was froze when he saw her his green eyes moved from her face hanggang paa niya ang he frowns.

"Don't you have any clothes? "

"Why? Do I look ugly?" Di niya maiwasang mag alala sa itsura niya, but Marco glanced sideways and brush his hair using his finger.

He walked towards her.

"No, you're not ugly actually it's the opposite, but you still have to change "tila namo-mroblema nitong sabi.

" But... "Bumaling siya sa bag niyang lagayan ng mga damit niya at nilabas ang lahat ng laman nito.

At inilatag lahat, it's all the same sleeveless and sexy clothes that Alethea chose for her wala siyang alam sa fashion so ang kapatid niya ang namimili ng mga damit na susuotin niya and she likes all that she chose for her.

Napahilot ito sa sintido.

"What's the matter Marco?"

Marco just sighs.

"Ok, I just need to take a bath" at umalis ito sa harap niya at dumiretso sa banyo nagtataka naman siyang napasunod ng tingin dito.

"Put your clothes in the closet ''rinig pa niyang sabi nito bago tuluyang pumasok sa banyo

At nagkibit balikat nalang siya at tiniklop ang mga damit ng maayos at nilagay sa closet halo ng mga damit ni Marco.

Nang lumabas ito ng banyo na nakatapi lang ng twulya.

Her lips parted open at nanlalaki ang mata habang nakatitig sa katawan ni Marco.

He was still dripping wet he looked so hot his body is big and the muscles napalunok siya this is the first time she saw a man naked and she was mesmerized.

Even his tattoos matches his skin at ngayon niya nakita ng maayos ang tattoo nito it was a thorn from his neck pababa sa dibdib nito at meron itong tribal design it looks so perfect on him so perfect just like him.

"Well, are you enjoying the view?" Tila aliw na aliw nitong tanong sakanya, pakiramdam niya at nag init ang mukha niya sa sinabi nito but she still needs to composed herself.

Tumikhim siya.

"I'm.. I'm just staring at your tattoos because it's beautiful" at nagmamadaling tumalikod.

"I.. I will wait for you downstairs" at malalaking hakbang na bumaba siya papunta sa sala.

Nasapo niya ang dibdib.

... Gosh! Adira what are you doing? Drooling over a naked man!

Naupo siya sa sofa to calm herself,

... Yes it's your first time Adira, but please composed yourself nakakahiya ka!

...did she touch his body noong nay nangyari sa kanila?

Wala siyang maalala kaya naiinis siya she was curious if she touched his body and how does Marco looks like when they did it..

.. self behave!!

Sita pa niya sa sarili but it keeps appearing in her mind, she feels like she was a pervert.

Napailing siya when she heard a footsteps na papalapit at nagkunwari siyang tumatanaw sa labas ng bintana.

Ramdam niya ang pagtigil nito sa likod niya ngunit hindi siya kumilos.

But Marco leaned to her shoulder at napa kislot siya.

"You looked excited" biglang bulong nito, napalunok siya.

"Ahm, yeah I'm so excited actually"

But she swallow hard and she didn't expect what Marco does.

He moved her hair na nasa batok niya and planted small kisses in her nape.

And her heart began to beat crazily!

"Your tattoo is cute.," Yun pala ang hinahalikan nito.

"Ah, yes... It's just small"

Hindi siya nakagalaw sa kinatatayuan niya.

"It's just fine, pangit naman kung malaki"

"Y-yeah" she even stammered!

Bigla siya nitong pinaharap at nagulat siya at napatingala dito.

"You're skin is beautiful but.. this is to much exposure so you have to wear this"

Kinuha nito ang kamay niya at pinatong ang isang jacket.

"W-what?" Nagbaba siya ng tingin sa hoodie jacket na binigay nito.

"But my clothes are fine at mainit sa labas Marco" bumaling siya sa bintana kung noong nagdaang gabi ay maulan ay mainit naman ngayon.

But Marco just shake his head.

"Please just wear it"

Marco turned around at may kinuha sa drawer nito.

And she has no choice but to wear the jacket ngunit hindi na niya iyon isiniper. And when Marco faced her ay hinila nito ang zipper hanggang leeg niya.

"Much better "

And he smiles siguro mas ok narin ang suot niya mas maganda kung walang makakakilala sakanya dahil baka makarating pa sa daddy niya na may kasamang lalaki.

"Ok let's go.." and she smiles too

Kahit hindi pa nag o-offer ng kamay si Marco ay hinawakan na niya ang kamay nito at siya mismo ang humila dito palabas napangiti naman ito sakanya.

Marco first took her in the department store and chose clothes for her, at karamihan na kinuha nito ay may mga manggas na damit para sakanya she just let him be.

Ngunit nang mapadaan sila sa mga underwear ay naagaw ang atensyon niya ng isang green na two-piece bikini na naka display, like Marco's eye color and it's beautiful.

Nilapitan niya ang sales lady

"Do you have available size of that?" Tinuro niya iyon at magiliw namang ngumiti ang sales lady sakanya.

"Ma'am baka magustuhan niyo there are more sexiest design available"

....

"What did you bought?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Marco iniwan kasi niya ito sa men's section.

"Undies" simpleng sagot niya napatango naman ito.

"Ok, we need to buy supplies now"

She nodded and smile at dumiretso na sila sa supermarket at namili ng mga bibilhin

Napa tanga siya ng mapansin kung gaano na karami ang groceries nila.

"Marco., I think napaka rami na ng groceries natin"

Bumaling naman ito sa tatlong pushcart na nakapila.

" Don't worry it's just fine, we will also need it, dahil may pupuntahan tayo"makahulugang sagot nito.

" Ma'am it *****thousand one hundred eighty four pesos and twenty cents.

She nodded and she opened her wallet but Marco give his card.

"It's on me"

"But Marco my clothes are expensive so--"

"Stop, we will not going to talk about the money ok?" And he wink at her and smile.

Kita niya kung paano kiligin ang mga saleslady at nagbulungan pa.

Napabaling siya kay Marco, dapat si Marco din nagsusuot din ng disguise dahil agaw pansin ito mula palang pagpasok nila sunod-sunod ng mga mata ng tao ito, samantalang pina ngatawanan niya ang hoodie jacket niya she even wear a cap.

"Where's our groceries?"

"It will be delivered in our yacht,.so are you hungry?"

Bumaling siya dito.

"Yes.. "

" What do you want to eat? "

Napaisip siya ano nga ba ang gusto niyang kainin.

" don't know.. "

Wala siyang maisip kaya naman napabaling si Marco sakanya.

"Ok, I got you on this c'mon" Marco held her wrist and pulled her sa isang restaurant.

Napatingala siya ng mabasa ang nakasulat sa taas.

" Unli buffet.. "

" Because you didn't know what to eat so.. you can choose any dish that you wanted here and it's all available.. I mean almost all"

She smiles.

"Ok.."

At hawak kamay silang pumasok sa loob niyon and Marco's right halos lahat ng dishes ay naroon, may mga Korean food, Italian, Japanese at napaka rami pa kahit sa mga desserts and pastries halos malula siya sa dami ng pagpipilian.

" What do you like? "Humarap sakanya si Marco.

" Ahm, I wanted to eat ramen, "

Marco nodded.

" And...? "Tila naghihintay pa ito ng sasabihin niya.

" Ahm, please choose for me, I am not so familiar with the food so I will eat whatever you choose for me, ''

".. mkay, you can wait me in the table ako nalang ang kukuha ng pagkain"

She smiles and nod at naghanap ng bakanteng table and she sat and wait for him to come back, Marco was choosing food nang mapansin niya ang dalawang babae na nasa likod nito na tila mga nagpapapansin.

And both women looks beautiful and sexy, naka tube at naka skirt ang isa and the other one is wearing a backless tops.

Kita niya ang pagkalabit ng isa kay Marco at napabaling naman si Marco sa mga ito like the woman na naka tube is asking Marco about the food at sumasagot naman si Marco.

She can't explain what she feels, samantalang siya ay balot na balot naka hoodie jacket at nakacap pa.

Nag iwas siya ng tingin ayaw niyang makita ang nangyayari she needs to composed herself.

Marco is her friend nothing more, nothing less she will be married soon and he's single so he can do anything even if the woman will flirts with him at wala siyang pakialam doon.

She's in the middle of her thoughts ng biglang may ilapag na plato sakanya umuusok na ramen, sea foods and sushi. At napatingala siya Marco was smiling at her.

"What drink would you prefer?"

"Ah-ahm., Anything that you like"

".. kay, just a sec" at umalis ito but.. the two girls were behind him again and it starts to pissed her off.

Maybe she need some respect right? Even though Marco is not her lover the woman shouldn't flirt with him infront of her.

She sighed heavily at nag iwas nalang ulit siya ng tingin at napalingon ng pabalik na si Marco while holding a two glass of juice drink.

At naupo sa harap niya.

But she just stared at him blankly hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit pati dito ay naiinis siya.

"Adie..?Are you ok?"

Tila nagtatakang agaw nito sa pansin niya.

Ngunit dumaan ang dalawang babae sa table nila and stop for a second to smile and wave at Marco and he smiles back.

...sh*t this feeling isn't good

Nakakaramdam siya ng inis kaya naman kumuha siya ng kutsara and she starts to dig in the ramen.

Buti nalang at masarap iyon at kahit papaano ay nawala ang topak niya.

Hindi niya pwede pairalin iyon she has no right to feel this way.

But Marco was just staring at her.

Nangunot ang noo niya.

"Why?"

But Marco smiles.

"You looked hungry."

"This ramen is delicious you should try it" aya niya dito.

"Sure, feed me" and he grind from ear to ear.

Napatanga siya sa sinabi nito, but it's fine so she take a scope of it.

"Open your mouth"

At sinubuan niya ito Marco nodded like he was convinced na masarap nga ang ramen.

"Yeah masarap nga.."

And she smiles the real her is a competitive one hindi siya pumapayag na mauungusan siya ng kahit sino kahit pa nang nag aaral palang siya.

Maybe she's lacking pag dating sa ibang bagay but not for the things she wanted to have and now Marco is hers maybe they don't have any romantic relationship but Marco is with her kaya hindi siya papayag.

She took some tissue and wipe the side of his mouth na tila ikinagulat nito.

"Oh, such a baby.." and she smiles sweetly at him habang nakatanga naman ito dahil sa ginawa niya.
